Now that I spend 80% of my day sitting on the couch nursing a baby, the bad news my week in iPhone photos is going to be a little repetitive. The good news is it’s almost all pictures of a tiny squishy baby, so it’s not the worst thing in the world.

Sunday:

First time being worn!! In our very most special wrap.

Super windy lake, but at least we made it ONE more time

First baby of mine to ever take a pacifier

Monday:

THAT’S RIGHT

Poor yellow baby (now he’s a blue baby)

When you turn on the jets in the bath you get a LOT of bubbles

Tuesday:

Ready for school!

How he feels about the hospital

Baby’s Second Hanna Jams (lobsters were first)

Wednesday:

Friends don’t let friends have a baby without bringing them their favorite wine

Pretending he’s still a baby too

Working on his thigh rolls

Thursday:

My life is now this…

…and this…

And three times a week this (chasing a toddler during soccer).

Friday:

Helping me make the bed

He looks so pleased with his noodle and his juice

FAAAAACE

Saturday:

Living their best lives

Bzzzzzzzz

Presents from Gymboree as part of a campaign! I’ll have the post up tomorrow!

I’m all caught up! Now I just have to edit a bazillion photos of our weekend so I can get THOSE up before the end of the week and then I might just spend the rest of the week napping instead of blogging. I’m sure you understand.

A whole week late but DONE. I can’t skip the week I had a baby – you would miss so many brand new baby photos! There will be a lot more babywearing selfies happening from this week forward.

Sunday:

Living that #lakelife

Goodbye lake! See you next summer!

I really need to have a baby soon, I have no clothes that fit

SO HAPPY TO BE IN THE HOSPITAL

Hospital crushed ice = perfection

Paparazzi attack already

Saturday:

I forgot how much I hate carrying these things around

The toddler missed us all

And I missed the toddler too

Even though they let us go home, the whole next week was full of doctor’s appointments and a trip back to the hospital for Finn’s jaunice. It’s my least favorite and it seems to happen every time I have a baby. One more 2 week check up to get through and then hopefully we go to normal, infrequent appointments and I can spend all that time snuggling babies instead.

The day the kids actually started first and second grade, I was in the hospital with baby #4, having given birth almost exactly 24 hours earlier. Luckily, before I went into the hospital, I forced them into school uniforms to take these pictures, because I figured faking it by 2 days is something they would forget pretty soon but if someday I put together a book of First Day photos and this year was missing they would notice. But because I faked them just a little, I only have a few and I didn’t get the shot of Linc crying because he didn’t get on the bus that I was sure I would end up with. Although from what the adults here at home reported, Linc slept through the whole thing and didn’t care in the slightest.

It’s a good thing I did have a baby this week, because THESE kids are clearly no longer babies and I need a baby fix. For comparison, here’s 2014 and 2015, where my children are much more appropriately sized and not these big kids who seem to have taken their place.

Fresh 48 sessions are my favorite kind of photo sessions, whether it’s my own baby or someone else’s. These are the rest of my pictures of Baby Finn from our time in the hospital. Well, our first time in the hospital. We had to go back to spend some time under the lights for his bilirubin levels, which wasn’t fun for anyone. But now we are home and can finally start settling in.

I would apologize for the number of photos in this post, but I’ve been writing this blog for 8 years now. I’m pretty sure I’ve already scared away everyone on the internet who DOESN’T want to see 60 photos of babies.

THIS IS SUPER LATE. IT’S FROM LAST WEEK. I AM DOING THINGS IN ORDER. THERE ARE NO OUTSIDE BABIES IN THIS POST ONLY INSIDE BABIES.

But I did have a baby. You can see him on Instagram.

I’m 2 weeks behind but I’m catching up. If the baby keeps sleeping during the afternoons I’ll have the birth story next, then Fresh 48 photos, then a back to school post, and another week in iPhone photos. Send coffee and wine, BOTH OF WHICH I CAN DRINK AGAIN PRAISE JESUS. (Hahahaha as if I ever gave up coffee.)

Sunday:

Hi Linc, can I take your picture?

CHEESE FACE!

Goodbye Olympics

Monday:

Gotta catch ’em all, even if Mommy is so pregnant she can barely walk

Wiggly tooth

YEAH THAT’S RIGHT BE JEALOUS

Tuesday:

#lakelife as much as possible

Playing model is Caroline’s FAVORITE

Harkness Park is pretty

Wednesday:

Real life

Lots of this happening this week

Daddy is the only fun parent right now

Thursday:

Can you believe I even carried my chair this far?

A friend made muffins “for the kids” but I ate three of them

BEHOLD, A MOMENT OF PEACE

Friday:

The last time my mom friends and I would only have 14 kids at the lake

Beautiful curls

Evan borrowed my phone to take 300 pictures of Daddy

So that was the week that ended on August 27th. A lot has happened since then. I’ll tell you about it soon.
